(NEWSER) – Cameron Lancaster, 18, apparently wanted to complete the ice bucket challenge in a different way—by jumping into water at a quarry. But the stunt got the Scottish teen killed Saturday, the Guardian reports.

He jumped feet first off an 80-foot cliff into what the Telegraph calls "shallow water"; emergency services were called after Lancaster went under and didn't come back up. He was ultimately found drowned at the Preston Hill quarry, which is no longer in use.
